I kinda missed Hennessey’s comment at the beginning of the post game show. He said someone tweeted a derogatory remark equating UND to a squirt team that was practicing on the ice earlier. Does anyone know who for Duluth made that tweet?

Hey, who are you calling sarcastic?

Besides Ciskie he is the most knowledgeable hockey guy in Minnesota when he isnt stumbling drunk into 6 year olds at the XCEL.....

or getting kicked off kfan... or making racist signs... it would be actually be a suprise relief for his handlers if he could take a few hours off from dumb stumbling drunkeness

I've got my bungee jumping cord ready, I'm sure I'll need it.

Just got out of a day of kids hockey games... caught a few minutes here and there on a silent stream... 

Good on the guys and coaches for gutting it out... 

that pp tho....

Thome lets in five goals in 33 minutes of playing time this weekend.

Scheel lets in one goal in 86 minutes of playing time this weekend.

OK, so after thinking last night that this team might not have any rocks, they come out wearing my favorite black uniforms, & beat UMD at their own game.  I knew this would be a season-defining game tonight.  Went the way I wasn't sure about. Very glad to see it.

It’s been obvious Scheel is vastly superior. Not sure why they keep trying to play Thome so much.

This is just how Berry rolls. Rotate until one guy stands out, roll him until he loses, then rotate again. 

I agree with you though.

We gave them the weekend rope-a-dope to secure the split. Nobody saw it coming. 

Except, that there was a chance.

Looks better in practice?

[TrueSioux2000]

One of those season's where every weekend is a split? Cool.

He (Wellens) claims to be objective then clearly isn't. Rather than call Samberg out for getting burned on both goals he says it's because UND deliberately tried to involve Perunovich in matching penalties.

No credit what-so-ever to the victors. You were outplayed by a depleted UND team. The refs cost the Bulldogs the game. Wolfe acted like a knucklehead both games. 

 

We have a new player Cole Shaw.

Quote

 

Wolff's ejection on Friday was for standing up for a teammate. He also took a Hawk with him, though again it was a fourth-liner who got scratched Saturday. No one is scolding Wolff for what he did Friday. That's a good penalty to take.

Saturday's was not. He was ejected for hitting Hawks junior wing Cole Shaw high, launching himself at the player at center ice.

Weird game to watch,  pp is beyond terrible.  But we won.  That’s all that matters.  A split is all we needed.  On to next week.

Duluth ran into a hot goalie (believe I've heard that one before...) on Sat night.  In all seriousness too, had Duluth not been so undisciplined and taken 7 called penalties then UND may not have won despite their woeful pp.  At least those minutes short-handed kept Duluth on the defense rather than attacking.  That is about the only "positive" I can take away regarding UND's pp.

Or UND was missing forwards Jones, Adams, JJ and after one Kawaguchi. That's a lot of bodies not in the lineup.

I agree with you though. 

But didn't Scheel stand out in the 5 game win streak (though he started the bulk of those games)?

I hear you but I believe it's been woeful for the most part this season, hasn't it (not sure where their pp % ranks nationally)?

They're ranked 35th Nationally. 

[GDPritch]

Thx, interesting stats.  35th, slightly below average pp then so not quite as dour as suspected but obviously room for big improvement.  Another interesting stat was goals for/against difference (scoring margin), we're tied with Minn at 0.0.
